My mom had a Ford Festiva back in the mid 80s and early 90s.

38 city, 40 hwy.

That car was awesome. I got to borrow it for a year. I'm 6'2" and I had tons of headroom in this car. I once bought a full sized recliner chair at Goodwill and brought it home in the back of the Festiva. I folded the back seat down, and had to move the driver's seat forward a little, but it fit completely inside with the back hatch closed. A freaking Lazy Boy!

The back seats were a little small, but they were fine. I rode on a couple long trips back there. It was an awesome around town car. Could park it anywhere.

I would love to have a modern version of this car with air bags. Smart Car is probably the closest thing, but is too small. Only carries 2 passengers.
